Conditions of Employment

Baroness Gardner of Parkes: To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the answer by Baroness Neville-Rolfe on 11 June (HL Deb, col 886), how they plan to ensure that people on zero hours contracts are aware that they can no longer be bound by an exclusivity clause; whether clear notification of this change will be sent to all relevant employers and employment agencies; and whether this law will override any existing contract which until 26 May included both zero-hours and exclusivity terms.

Baroness Neville-Rolfe: Changes to employment law are publicised in the same way to ensure employers and individuals know how to access the information. This includes guidance on .GOV.UK, and via relevant organisations, including representative and advisory bodies such as Acas, who have mechanisms to ensure the information reaches the right people. The ban applies to all those with an existing exclusivity clause in their zero hours contract.
